93. The Gate Of Prayer

1 Lo! I hear the Saviour calling:
"Child, arise and come to me;
I, the source of all thy pleasure,
Gave my precious blood for thee:
Seek me at the gate of prayer!
Thou wilt find me waiting there."
"Seek me at the gate of prayer!
Thou wilt find me waiting there."

2 Oh! that loving voice so tender,
How it draws my soul away:
While like sweetest music falling,
Still I hear it gently say:
"Haste thee to the gate of prayer,
Thou wilt find me waiting there."
"Haste thee to the gate of prayer,
Thou wilt find me waiting there."

3 Saviour, help me, guide and keep me,
Seal my heart forever thine;
Let me find my only comfort,
In thy law of love divine,
I will seek the gate of prayer,
Thou wilt own and bless me there.
I will seek the gate of prayer,
Thou wilt own and bless me there.
